Membership Payment & Registration
First 4 weeks amount to register, additional amounts every 4 weeks via AutoBill. For your convenience, S Factor’s AutoBill system saves your credit card number in our secure, PCI-compliant merchant bank. From there it is charged throughout the duration of your membership. 24 & 48-Week Members will be automatically registered in the same regular weekly Original Series day/time by your Studio Director every 8 weeks unless otherwise desired.

Original Series Attendance
36 hours before your regular weekly Original Series class time, you’ll receive an email from S Factor asking if you will be attending. Click ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ If you click ‘No,’ your spot will open up to another member. At S Factor New York, if you do not sign out 6 hours prior to class, or do not show up for any scheduled series classes, your account will be charged a $20 no-show fee.

Using Open Access to Drop In to a Membership Class
Class space subject to availability. Open access drop-in registration opens at 8am the day before for Original Series classes, and 2 days in advance for all other membership classes. Sign up online, by phone or in person on a first-come, first-served basis until the class is at maximum capacity. If a class is full, add your name to the Wait List and you’ll be contacted when there’s an opening. Drop in to classes in your current level or lower, especially for Original Series classes. Practice curriculum that is being taught in that level (i.e. Erotic Creature® clothing, ‘free dance,’ and upper Level tricks are reserved for advanced classes).

Late Policy
Arriving late to class prevents us from getting an accurate student count, which is how we determine whether or not there is space available for additional students. To ensure that you and your fellow S sisters have access to all of our classes, please arrive 10 minutes before your class start time. All available spots will be up for grabs at the start of class. And the class will be closed for admittance at start time if it is full. If the class is not full, it will be closed for admittance 10 minutes after start time. A sign will be posted on the classroom door when the class is closed. Please see the Front Desk and we will help you schedule another class at that time.

Makeup Policy
Missed Original Series classes will not result in a Makeup.

Membership Cancellation Policy
8-Week Memberships may not be cancelled. 24 and 48-Week discounted Memberships may be cancelled by providing written notice a minimum of 30 days prior to the beginning of the session you wish to exit; and by paying the difference between the discount provided and the full session price.

I further agree that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, I shall indemnify, release, and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, losses, illnesses, demands, and injuries to my person or property, foreseen or unforeseen, resulting from, caused by, or related in any way to my participation in and/or presence at any class, program, Private Lesson, Private Party or activity (including, but not limited to, any injury or damage occurring while I am on S Factor premises or while using S Factor facilities or equipment in any way) provided or facilitated by S Factor, including acts of negligence on the part of myself, any of the Releasees or any third party).
